Letters Patent No. 95,527, dated October 5, 1869; emulated September 18, 1869.

IMPROVEMENT IN- THE MANUFACTURE OI' 'SOAP FOR MEDICINAL AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent a'nd making part of the same.

To all persons to whom these presents may come "oxide of iron, oitits salts, and therefore is a better medicament in most eases.

In the preparation of this composition, '1 take the fatty and alkaline matters usually employed in making toilet or other good soap, and in the proportions they are generally used for such-purpose, and I treat them by heating the fat and incorporating it with the alkali in the manner in which soap is made.

While the whole is in a hot and liquid state, I mix into it the calamine, in the proportion of one pound of the calamine to ten pounds of the soap; but I do not confine my composition to these precise proportions, as they may be varied more or less.

The calamine renders the'soap especially useful for the washing of the skin of an animal, particularly when diseased or chapped. The emollient and detersive qualities of the soapy part of the compound, combined with the curative properties of the calainine,

render such compound of 7 great utility as a medicated soap. As a toilet soap it is very efficacious and valuable.

I olaimithe' composition as made of the mineral OX: ide and soap, as described. 7
